Producer and genre-bending singer-songwriter Loryn Taggart has ambitiously broken through the music industry. This Hungarian-Canadian musician who was raised in the Prairies, took a leap of faith at just 16 years old when she left her family home and moved to Toronto in the pursuit of a life of music.
Now based in Montreal, it wasn’t long until Taggart’s talents were being noticed. She had the pleasure of touring with Canadian Folk Musician Donovan Woods, and most notably in 2021, when she secured the role of David Bowie on an international tribute tour highlighting Bowie’s The Berlin Trilogy era. After partnering with La Tribe Agence and Moment Factory, Taggart went on to perform the role of Bowie at renowned venues such as Place Des Arts, Canadian Arts Centre and the Amphitheatre Cogeco.
Latest single, “Walls,” brings a wonderful mix of Taggart’s pop and jazz background. The infectious single was inspired by emotions brought on from living with a boyfriend in the same dwelling as his last partner.

The entire process behind “Walls” was created in living rooms. Taggart wrote the song over a Zoom meeting with songwriters Bryn & Aryss, who live in Toronto. Taggart created a simple piano riff with some synth, beats and harmonies on Logic and sent it over to producer Howie Beck via Dropbox where they continued their creation. He’d add production to her stems, she would add vocals and harmony to his production. The files were then sent to an arranger and trumpets were recorded.
